Excerpt from Breeding Ecology of Riparian Birds Along the Colorado River in Grand Canyon, Arizona

And finally, the third objective was to examine the nest placement preferences of selected obligate riparian birds in tamarisk to determine if tamarisk was preferred over native plants as a nest site. This was done because it was necessary to determine, after first determining the density and habitat preferences of birds nesting in tamarisk, whether or not the availability of native plants was a limiting factor in determining avian density and habitat preferences. If tamarisk was preferred over native plants as a nest site, this would help to explain why breeding birds could occur in such high densities in tamarisk and why such diverse patterns of habitat selection were observed in tamarisk-dominated communities.
